I really have a distast for Rev. Jesse Jackson I have seen no good come from the words that flow from his mouth. As far as I am concerned he speaks up to raise frustrations into anger and always plays the race card no matter what the situation.

People say that it is mostly poor blacks that are trapped and need help. Well what was the majority of New Orleans black. People dont understand what it takes to mobilize enough troops and supplies to take care of a horrible disaster such as this. It does take valuble time but it will come. If the town had a majority of white folk in it, it would still take valuble time to deliver the resources needed to help the needy.

This is just my view point. It was not intended to start anything.

Beth if you feel like removing it for any reason go right ahead.

They all think we invaded Iraq in a day so the Fed's should have been faster to respond.They miss the fact there were months of preperation to move into Iraq(staging equipment etc).

Hurricanes nor any other natural disaster care about race.They effect all in the area they strike.90,000 sq miles of damage and they think New Orleans was the only place that wasn't getting aid.

I guess they have already forgotten about the 4000+ lives saved by Coast Guard helicopter crews.GREAT JOB GUYS/GIRLS!!!!!!you are true heros.I hope those you saved are as grateful as I am for what you are doing.

The mayor of New Orleans is passing the buck to the the state and federal level.He ordered a mandantory evacuation and didn't bother enforcing it.He dropped the ball as did officials on the state level In L.A.

Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton both need to sit down and shut the f*%$ up.Neither one has a clue what the people who live in the gulf states are going through.They were both sitting in their multi-million dollar mansions far away from this tragedy when it happened.

HURRICANE KATRINA DESTROYS NEW ORLEANS

DAYS BEFORE "SOUTHERN DECADENCE" 8/31/05

PHILADELPHIA - Just days before "Southern Decadence", an annual homosexual celebration attracting tens of thousands of people to the French Quarters section of New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina destroys the city.

"Southern Decadence" has a history of filling the French Quarters section of the city with drunken homosexuals engaging in *** acts in the public streets and bars. Last year, a local pastor sent video footage of *** acts being performed in front of police to the mayor, city council, and the media. City officials simply ignored the footage and continued to welcome and praise the weeklong celebration as being an "exciting event". However, Hurricane Katrina has put an end to the annual celebration of sin.

On the official "Southern Decadence" website (www.SouthernDecadence.com) , it states that the annual event brought in "125,000 revelers" to New Orleans last year, increasing by thousands each year, and up from "over 50,000 revelers" in 1997. This year?s 34th annual "Southern Decadence" was set for Wednesday, August 31, 2005 through Monday, September 5, 2005, but due to massive flooding and the damage left by the hurricane, Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco has ordered everyone to evacuate the city.

The past three mayors of New Orleans, including Sidney Barthelomew, Marc H. Morial, and C. Ray Nagin, issued official proclamations welcoming visitors to "Southern Decadence". Additionally, New Orleans City Council made other proclamations recognizing the annual homosexual celebration.

"Although the loss of lives is deeply saddening, this act of God destroyed a wicked city," stated Repent America director Michael Marcavage. "From 'Girls Gone Wild' to 'Southern Decadence,' New Orleans was a city that had its doors wide open to the public celebration of sin. From the devastation may a city full of righteousness emerge," he continued.

New Orleans is also known for its Mardi Gras parties where thousands of drunken men revel in the streets to exchange plastic jewelry for drunken women to expose their breasts. This annual event sparked the creation of the "Girls Gone Wild" video series. In addition, Louisiana had a total of ten abortion clinics with half of them making their home in New Orleans. At these five abortion clinics in the city, countless numbers of children were murdered at the hands of abortionists.

"We must help and pray for those ravaged by this disaster, but let us not forget that the citizens of New Orleans tolerated and welcomed the wickedness in their city for so long," Marcavage said. "May this act of God cause us all to think about what we tolerate in our city limits, and bring us trembling before the throne of Almighty God," Marcavage concluded.
